look. the prequal movies were BETTER then 4 5 and 6. i got bored halfway through the number 5. and you could see how each one was going to end after watching about 30 minuets.

i can see how 4 5 and 6 would have been good movies at the time, but now the effects are so out of date that i could not focus properly on the plot. critical to all sci-fi films is immersion, and i could not for the life of me get into the 4 5 and 6. it just looked so bad.

this calls for a rewatching of the Red Letter Media reviews. Seriously, those rip those crappy prequels apart from every aspect including the bad story-telling, lazy shooting, crappy framing, and over reliance on dull, sterile CGI.

Whaddya know I was just complaining about George Lucas and his loss of integrity last night. That aside, this looks awesome. Oldboy is a really good film and it was probably the least expected place you could take a George Lucas revenge flick. Also I love the inclusion of Shortround.
